Chlorhexidine-releasing orthodontic elastomerics.
The aim of this study was to identify the best combination of chlorhexidine (CHX) with orthodontic elastomerics for prevention of oral disease in orthodontic patients. We used ethyl cellulose (EC) as the polymer, and experimental groups were divided into five groups according to differences in solvent (i.e., ethanol; EtOH, dichloromethane; DCM). CHX release from the coated elastomerics was eval...
متن کاملEnamel decalcification in primary schoolchildren.
To serve as a baseline for a future study of enamel decalcification in relation to orthodontic treatment, the pre valence and severity of decalcification was determined in 204 schoolchildren who had not received orthodontic treat ment (mean age 12.3 years), and who lived in a Jluroide deficient area. The severity of decalcification indicated by a Decalcification Index (DI) was calculated usin...
متن کاملDental enamel around fixed orthodontic appliances after fluoride varnish application.
Poor oral hygiene has been considered one of the main problems routinely faced in the orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic appliance creates an environment that provides mineral loss from the dental enamel. Such condition is clinically seen as white spot lesions and cavitations in the most severe cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a fluoride varnish application as a carie...
متن کاملAnticariogenic effect of fluoride-releasing elastomers in orthodontic patients.
This in vivo experimental study evaluated the efficacy of fluoride-releasing elastomers in the control of Streptococcus mutans levels in the oral cavity. Forty orthodontic patients were recruited and divided into two groups of 20. Fluoride-releasing elastomeric ligature ties (Fluor-I-Ties, Ortho Arch Co. Inc., USA) were used in the experimental group, and conventional elastomeric ligature ties ...
متن کامل[Class II malocclusion therapy using fixed orthodontic appliance].
BACKGROUND Depending on the indication, and the age of a patient, class II division I malocclusion can be treated by a fixed or mobile orthodontic appliance, with or without teeth extraction. CASE REPORT A treatment of a male patient, 15 years old, with dentoalveolar class II division I was described.
